If you have followed the news, you would have seen the large protest in E Boston on 12/3 over the proposed Toll Hike. Please check out the good people at  www.stopthepike.org and www.stopthepikehike.org . There is credible, working class opposition to the hikes and the gas tax increase. 
 I invite ALL who want to show your NON support of a Toll Hike and gas tax increase, while the commuters from the North and South still pay nothing for the Big Dig debt, to gather outside, in the front of the Memorial Building, 150 Union Ave, at 6PM.  The public meeting starts at 6:30 PM in Nevins Hall.  Send a message to Rep Pam Richardson, Rep.PamRichardson@hou.state.ma.us , Senator Karen Splika , Karen.E.Spilka@state.ma.us and all the rest of the Metro West  Legislators, the Governor, Benard Cohen and Alan LeBovidge, inform them of your complete disappointment with their actions and tell them, to take a hike … with the hike and demand fairness from them all.
